About the author

Vairamuthu was born to Ramaswamythevar and Angammal of Mettur in a middle-class family. When he was four, the village gave way to Vaigai Dam and the family moved to Vadugapatti village, a farming community in Theni near Periyakulam.

The ambience of the village is said to have inspired him to write poems. According to him, Tamil and Rationalist movements of the sixties stimulated his poetic zeal. The speeches of Periyar & Anna, the writings of Karunanidhi and the works of eminent poets like Bharathi, Bharathidasan and Kannadasan and the life in the countryside shaped the young poet's thinking. At the age of fourteen, he was inspired by Thiruvalluvar's Thirukkural to write a Venba compilation of poetry, strictly adhering to the Yappu grammar rules of Tamil poetry.

He joined Pachaiyappa's college in Chennai where he was acclaimed as the best speaker and poet. While in his second year of B. A. and barely nineteen years of age, Vairamuthu published his maiden anthology Vaigarai Megangal. It was prescribed for study in Women's Christian College. Thus, he achieved the distinction of a student poet whose work was taken into the curriculum while he was still a student.

His second work, Thiruththi Yezhudhiya Theerpugal, in pudhu kavidhai (free verse) form was published in 1979. He made his film debut in the succeeding year when he set lyrics for Bharathiraja's Nizhalgal.

[Priya Ravikumar]

Nice Novel.

[Oviya · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the greatest book I have ever read

[Nandu · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book written by vairamuthu emphasizes on people moving against nature or nowadays ignoring natural laws and beauties. This book is carefully crafted highlighting the importance of pursuing hardwork in any job we do and also should take our time out to admire beauty of nature.

I want to read Sigarangalai Nokki Novel

[Nivetha.com · Rating 3 out of 5]

இயற்க்கையையும்
காதலையும் கவிதையையும்
ஒரே நேரத்தில் ரசிக்க கற்றுக் கொள்ள வேண்டுமா....
வைரமுத்துவின் ஒரு படைப்பையாவது பருகுங்கள்
அப்படியான ஒரு படைப்பு தான் இந்த நாவல்..
மனசை மயிலிறகால்லிவருடும் ஓவியா.....
நிதர்சனத்தை இறுதியில் உணர்ந்து மனதளவிலும் உயர்ந்த திருஞானம்..
காதலின் கைகோர்த்து இயற்க்கையின் மடியில் தவழ்ந்துச சிகரத்தை நோக்கிய பயணம்ன...
